Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Sauté one diced medium onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, basil, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
  2. Cook 12 lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Spread on a towel or parchment paper to cool.
  3. In a bowl, mix thawed spinach, ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and one egg until well blended.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread about ¼ cup of filling on each noodle. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Cover roll-ups with remaining sauce, top with mozzarella cheese, and bake for 25 minutes until bubbly.
  6. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
